HOIVSTING AND PUMPING APPARATUS.

SPECIFICATION forming' part of Letters Patent No. 561,723, dated J' une9, 1896.

Application filed January 6, 1896. Serial No. 574,426. (No model.)

To aZZ w/"wm/ it may concern.:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK II. NEASE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Bellevue, county of Blaine, State of Idaho, have invented anImprovement in I'Ioisting and Pumping Apparatus; and I hereby declarethe following to he a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

My inventionrelates to the class of power zok mechanism adapted foreither hoisting or pumping, orboth; and my invention consists in thenovel construction, arrangement, and combinations of parts, which Ishall hereinafter fully describe and claim.

The object of my invention is to provide a simple and eifectiveapparatus designed to run a pump or to be used as a hoisting de* Vice,orto be used forboth purposes when necessary, the apparatus beingspeciallyy adapted 2o for prospectors who have claims which they desireto develop sufficiently to see whether they shall be warranted incontinuing the work with more perfect machinery.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure l is an elevation of myapparatus.

Fig. 2 is a plan on the line y fy of Fig. l.

A is a frame, in which is mounted a vertical shaft B, to which issecured a sweep O, by which horse-power may be applied to the apparatus7though it is to be understood that any suitable power may be applied torotate the shaft. There may be one or more of these sweeps, as may bedesired. Mounted freely or loosely upon the lower end of this verticalshaft is a horizontal winding-drum D, from which a hoisting-line E mayextend to the well or shaft, being guided suit-ably, as

by the pulleys c and e', in the frame A.

Mounted upon a feather or spline upon the 4o shaft B is a clutch F,adapted, when lowered,

to engage with the hub of the winding-drum D. This clutch is thrown toor from its engagement by means of a yoke G, secured to a rock-shaft II,having a crank h, to which is attached a connecting-rod I, operated by ahand-lever J, which said lever is controlled by a spring-pawl j,engaging a rack j.

Loosely mounted upon the shaft B is a gear K, which meshes with a pinionL on a coun- 5c ter-shaft M, which has a crank m, to which is attached aconnecting-rod m, the lower end of which is attached to a crank la on ashaft N, the other end of which has a crank n', which may be supposed tobe connected with the pump. Vith the huh of the gear 5 5 K the clutch isadapted to be thrown into and out of engagement bythe yoke G.

It will now be seen that by operating the hand-l ever J so as to throwthe clutch G. down into engagement with the hub of the winding- 6o drumD the hoisting mechanism will be operated, while the pumping mechanismwill remain idle. By operating the hand-lever in the other direction, soas to throw the clutch up into engagement with the hub of the gear 6 5K, the pumping mechanism will be operated, while the hoisting mechanismwill remain idle. Thus either of these works may be done, according asthe necessity arises. lf, however, it he required to do both at once, a7o set-screw Zt is made to fasten the gear K to the shaftand the clutchis thrown into en gagement with the winding-drum.

The chan ge from one work to the other may be accomplished while thehorses are in motion, and without stopping the movement of theapparatus.

In order to provide for the safety of the hoisting mechanism, Ihave apawl O, adapted to engage with teeth on the winding-drum D. 8o This pawlis upon a rock-shaft o, controlled by a spring o', and said pawl isthrown out of engagement by means of a connecting-line o2 to afoot-lever Pin the vicinity of the handlever J. For further safety Ihave also a strap-brake Q, adapted to impinge upon the periphery of thewinding-drum, said brake being operated by a connecting-rod q to ahandlever R,which is provided with a springcontrolled pawl r, engaging arack 0". 9c:

v In cases where it is desired to use only the pumping apparatus, thewinding-drum and its mechanism may be omitted in the manufacture of thedevice, and likewise when it is only desired to use the hoistingmechanism the pumping part of the machine may be omitted.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A hoisting apparatus consisting of a framework, a vertical rotatableshaft mounted therein, a horizontally-disposed windingdrum, looselymounted on said shaft and having teeth upon its upper surface, aslidable eluteh on said shaft adapted to engage and operate the drum, aelutelrsliifting mechanism comprising a rook-shaft in the frame, a yokeon the rook-shaft, adapted to embraee the eluteh and having` a crank, arod conneeted with the free end of the Crank and a lever and holding,`devices for this rod, a seoond rock-shaft on the frame, a pawl thereonadapted to engage the teeth on the windingdrum and a line extending froman arm of the pawl and a lever eonneeted with and op- @rating` the line.

2. An apparatus Consisting of a framework, a vertical rotatableshaftmounted therein, a eluteh feathered upon said shaft, a gear on theshaft having a hub with a elutehsurface to be engaged by the eluteh, ahori- Zontal counter-shaft having a pinion adapted to mesh with thegear, and having a Crank, a second horizontal shaft having a Crank, aeonneetion between the two cranks, and a crank on the opposite end ofthe seeond shaft adapted for attachment to a driven meehanism. A

3. A hoisting and pumping apparatus eonsisting of a vertically-disposedrotary shaft to which the power is applied, a horizontallydisposedwinding-drum loosely mounted upon said shaft,and having a hoistingline,aspring,v` controlled pawl and means for operating` it to control thedrum, a gear loosely mounted upon the shaft, means for fastening` thegear to said shaft, and connections from said gear to operatea pump, asingle elutoh on the shaft adapted to be thrown alternately into and outof engagement with the winding-drum and the gear, a yoke for operatingthe clutch, and a lever and eonneetions for operating the yoke.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand. t
